About this listen

In this raw and honest episode, Colton Lee takes us inside the first week back at his Alternative Learning Center — a four-day whirlwind marked by new students testing limits, tech blocks adding fuel to frustration, and a chaotic parent blow-up echoing through the halls. He unpacks the harsh realities of working in a high-needs environment: a SPED caseload growing faster than prep time allows, kids gaming the system to avoid work, and teachers already drained by Thursday. And when a new hire walks out before day one even begins, Colton reflects on what it really means to stand united — and why these students need stability more than anything else.

If you've ever felt like you’re holding the building up with one hand and your sanity with the other, this one’s for you.
